Laos Guard Nouchan Thavong (G) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Luang, receiving a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 3.The player recorded a triple-double of 25 points adding also 11 rebounds and 12 assists, while his team beat Pilipinas (2-2) 86-71. Thanks to this victory Luang moved-up to the 4th position in Thailand TBSL. Luang is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 2-2 record. In the team's last game Thavong had a remarkable 62.5% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Luang, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Nouchan Thavong has solid league stats. He is in league's top in points (6th best: 18.8ppg) and assists (4th best: 8.3apg).

The second best player in last round's games was 22-year old Malaysian Chun Hong Ting (193-C-96) of Malaysia Matrix. Ting had a very good evening with a double-double of 34 points and 10 rebounds. Bad luck as Malaysia Matrix lost that game 91-97 to Kabayan (3-1). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Ting is one of the most experienced players at Malaysia Matrix and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third on the list of top players last round was American forward Nick Demusis (193-F) of league's second-best Kabayan. Demusis showcased his all-around game by recording 26 points, six rebounds and six assists in the last round. He was a key player of Kabayan, leading his team to a 97-91 win against Malaysia Matrix (#7, 1-3). Kabayan needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 3 victories and 1 lost games. Demusis has a very solid season. In 4 games in Thailand he scored 16.0ppg.

Laos Nouchan Thavong (G) put on an amazing game in the last round for Luang and that's him to receive a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 7.The guard had the game-high 23 points adding five rebounds and seven assists for Luang in his team's victory, helping them to beat Hitech (#1, 6-1) 101-94. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Luang maintains the 4th position in Thailand TBSL. They would have been even better if they did not have these two lost games earlier in Regular Season. Luang will need more victories to improve their 5-2 record. In the team's last game Thavong had a remarkable 66.7% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Luang, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Thavong has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (4th best: 21.4ppg), assists (5th best: 8.0apg) and averages solid 54.2% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 30-year old American center Raymond Miller (204-C-88) of Pilipinas. Miller impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 37 points and 21 rebounds. Bad luck as Pilipinas was edged by slightly higher-ranked Malaysia Matrix (2-5) 96-95. This loss caused Pilipinas to drop to 7th position in the standings. 5 lost games are too many comparing to just two victories Pilipinas managed to get this year. Miller is one of the most experienced players at Pilipinas and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 26.7ppg (#2). He also registered 15.9 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was American Christien Charles (216-F/C-81) of top-ranked Hitech. Charles scored 24 points and grabbed sixteen rebounds (!!!). Despite Charles' great performance Hitech lost 94-101 to #4 ranked Luang. But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. Hitech had another "accident". It may be a crucial game and cause dropping from the group of top ranked teams. The record is still good, but 1st lost game is hopefully really an accident. Charles' teammates are also very good. That's why having such high stats is even more impressive. Charles has a great season in Thailand. After only 3 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 18.7ppg (9th best) and rebounds with 14.0rpg (3rd best).
